Last year, SmartBear began its support for Per Scholas, a non-profit organization that provides technology education and job placement to underserved communities. This latest donation includes TestComplete's new mobile testing module for Android (News - Alert) and iOS apps, as well as the latest version of SoapUI Pro licenses for use in the Per Scholas STEP lab.

"We're very happy to be involved in this initiative because it positively impacts the future of testing. Our software tools enable testers to be more efficient and varied in their test strategies, which results in higher quality software for customers." In 2013, Per Scholas expanded their program by opening new cnters and adding additional training in the area of software testing. The global software testing market is estimated to grow substantially by 2016. The intensive 8-week course is lab-based, instructor-led training supported by exercises, field studies, industry experts and exposure to leading edge software testing tools.
